I Have an Active Dream Life.

Last night I had a dream. I was going for a job interview or something and I was nervous. So nervous that my mouth was bone dry. Dry like the desert. There was a big metal tub filled with ice and bottles of water but I didn't want to ask anyone for a glass of water from the interviewer. My tongue felt thick and I couldn't talk properly. I was so uncomfortable as I awaited my turn.

Finally, I couldn't take it anymore, I asked for some. I was handed a bottle of water but couldn't get the cap off.

For the love of god, all I wanted was a sip. I felt like crying but couldn't spare the moisture. Someone noticed my discomfort and helped me with the bottle. Gratefully I gulped down some water but didn't help.

That was when I woke up. The desert was no dream. I was parched, mouth like sandpaper. Apparently I had gotten so congested through the night that I was breathing only through my mouth.

Greedily, I gulped down the glass of water that had been within reach the whole time.

The good news is that I'm feeling slightly better today. Thanks for all your kind thoughts and well wishes everyone!

Wow... Thinking back, I can so relate to Amanda. I was sick earlier in the week too. I too also had a weird dream. The US was engulfed in WW3 and we were fighting off an invading army. I was a civilian in a small town and I came out of a store and looked up to see a aerial dogfight between our USAF and some bad guy. Long story short, I eventually died from biological weapons use, and THAT could have been MY cold!

I had this really odd dream the other night, too. I was just standing there on a street corner minding my own business and out of the blue, here comes this woman yelling at me, accusing me of being a serial killer, and she's got a knife and she starts stabbing me with it. I managed to get away from her, but I don't really remember how.

Now sha... I want you to remain calm when I tell you this... ok? You relaxed? Your Blog has been chosen for the "My Almost Normal Friends" blog of the day! Ta-Dah!! I can hear you squeeling for joy and clapping your hands.

Gosh! So many people are ill right now. Be gentle with yourself, Shauna. And drink LOTS of fluids. I gotta side with B2G. That dream was just your subconscious reminding you to keep yourself hydrated. I do hope you'll feel better soon. Oh, and DON'T give your cold to Eric. You know how we men are when we're sick.
